The game between the two playoff-chasing sides leapt into life as Chicago scored two in quick succession inside the opening 10 minutes, as Jonathan Bamba opened the scoring for the hosts, before Philip Zinckernagel doubled the lead. After the interval, Chicago netted their third, as Hugo Cuypers found the bottom left-hand corner to make it 3-0 in the 68th minute.
Chicago Fire have shown resilience with a crucial 1-0 victory against New York Red Bulls and will aim to continue this momentum against Los Angeles FC despite a poor historical record against them.
